Canadian Pacific Railway's western end was constructed by the American firm of D. O. Mills & Company, headed by Darius Ogden
Mills of Virginia & Truckee fame. Mills gave financial backing to Andrew Onderdonk, who obtained the contracts for building
212 miles of the road from the terminal at Port Moody, near present-day Vancouver, to Savona's Ferry, British Columbia. Onderdonk
obtained a second-hand locomotive from the Virginia & Truckee Railroad to use in construction and this engine became Canadian
Pacific Railway No.1, named the YALE. She was a 2-6-0 built by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco in 1869 as Virginia &
Truckee's No.3, the STOREY. The engine was landed at Emory, B. C., in the autumn of 1880; this photo shows her at Keefer,
B. C. in 1885. After the road was completed, she was sent east to the Intercolonial Railway, later passed into the hands of
the Canadian National, and was scrapped in 1920. She was the 13th engine built by Booth's Union Iron Works, had 16 x 22 inch
cylinders and 43 inch drivers. (Courtesy of H. L. Goldsmith.)

Canadian Pacific Railway No. 3 was a Baldwin 2-6-0 named the
New Westminster. Outshopped in 1870 with builder's number 2198, she was originally Virginia & Truckee's No. 8, named the
Humboldt. She had 16 x 24 inch cylinders, 48 inch drivers, and weighed 55,000 pounds. The Mogul was acquired for the Mills-Onderdonk
contracts in British Columbia in May, 1882, and upon completion was taken east, where she became Intercolonial Railway No.
189. In 1913 she became Canadian government Railways No. 1024 and was scrapped in 1918. This photo shows her at Hope, B. C.
in 1885. Two other Baldwin Moguls from the Virginia & Truckee came north to the C. P. R. construction in 1883; the V. & T.
No. 5, named
Carson, became C. P. R. No. 4, the
Savona, while the former V. & T. No. 7, the
Nevada?, was assigned C. P. R. No. 5 and renamed the
Lytton. (Courtesy of H. L. Goldsmith)
